Research Interests:

Our group has a number of on going research projects in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET), healthcare technologies and multicore systems as listed below.

1.CROSS-LAYER DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF RELIABLE, ENERGY-AWARE PROTOCOLS FOR WSNS: WSNs research needs to move beyond just energy conservation research and start addressing the reliability. We investigate reliability and scalability in connection with the energy conservation challenges.

2.EVALUATION OF LARGE-SCALE WSNS: WSNs consist of large number of nodes, which makes scalability a critical factor. Realistic evaluation of such networks in the absence of scalable WSNs simulation tools becomes a big challenge. We have been investigating and updating tools capabilities to increase their effectiveness to evaluate WSNs.

3.TRAFFIC CONGESTION DETECTION USING VANET: We investigate the development of distributed collaborative communication-efficient privacy maintaining schemes that provide drivers with real-time information on traffic congestions over long distances. We use simulation and visualization to validate the proposed schemes.

4.PROACTIVE MONITORING HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: Our effort is focused on designing and developing an open source wearable computing and real-time sensing platform for continuous health monitoring and feedback. The system will be validated in a clinical setting.

5.MULTICORE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS: Optimize multicore designs for improved performance, predictability, and energy-efficiency.
